Wayzata, MN 55391
To Register: Click here or call 952-917-9396
Beccah will provide an experiential explanation of an unlimited intelligence which some call a "Greater Self" or perhaps a higher existence. This "Greater Self" is simply a level of Consciousness that is vast and infinitely more intelligent than our brain-selves can comprehend. In fact, it is Consciousness itself. It is worthwhile to focus on the "Greater Self" because it holds the keys to freedom, peace, self-realization and unalterable happiness.
Be ready for an amazing day. Beccah is very excited to facilitate a direct experience of liberation, not just talk about the concept.

Awakening the Dreamer Symposium
a huge success!
The first event with the new collaboration between Spirit United and the MN Pachamama Community was attended by about 40 people linking our two communities  together. Audio visuals featuring scientific information and current global events prompted individual reflection as well as many heart-felt discussions initiating transformation within all who attended. 
Each individual was asked to look at feelings, unchecked assumptions, values and deep imaginative visions of the future when balance and harmony is restored. In the end we all were asked to focus on environmental sustainability, spiritual fulfillment, or social justice. The debriefing from each of these groupings circled back to the spiritual aspect of individuals and the work as we set forth creating the new story, making change.
 Honoring the indigenous people of the world;  Honoring Pachamama, Sacred Mother Earth, as a living sentient being;
 Working in community to "bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just human presence on this planet."
Upcoming Events! Earth Hour
Every Wednesday 8:30pm-9:30pm Inspired by this year's Earth Hour on March 28 the
MN Pachamama Community thought why not do this
more often? So turn off all electronics --lights, TV's,
devices. Feel the peace, be aware of environmental
issues and lessen our energy consumption.
